After my weigh-in last Tuesday, I was on fire! I actually looked forward to my time on the treadmill and I did a great job of tracking my food for the week, if I do say so myself. Then, the weekend hit, my girls suckered their dad into getting them each a bag of candy, and I thought I did pretty good, considering the sugar monster that lives within me. I will admit that I did have a few chewy sweettarts and a couple gummy worms, though they made me feel sick to my stomach. I would have thought after feeling like that and knowing that I didn’t need that extra sugar, it would have been enough to just have had that taste. I’m not going to lie. It wasn’t. By the end of the weekend, I had basically eaten the whole bag of those dang chewy sweettarts. I also found myself munching on late night Doritos or Chex Mix with hubby. The worst part – I didn’t track any of it!
Ugh!!! Why do I sabotage myself? I was on the right trail for a change and then I just belly-flop right off the wagon. For what? For the measly few seconds of satisfaction that the junk food provides. Gross. When am I going to learn? I need to stop feeding the sugar/snack monster. This week’s weigh-in definitely was affected by my sabotage. Let’s check out the damage, shall we?
12/18/12 Weigh-In (WI): 173
01/08/13 WI: 171.5 (-1.5)
01/15/13 GW: 170 WI: 173 (+1.5)
01/22/13 GW: 168.5
01/29/13 GW: 167
The scale moved the wrong way! So frustrating! But I know why and I just need to figure out how I can stop sabotaging myself. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! =)
